Thread: Baltimore bridge collapsed after collision with a ship

Worried about the economic effects of this.

Reuters (archived link) had some interesting points that stood out to me in a story they published earlier today about the impact on shipping:

It is one of the smallest container ports on the Northeastern seaboard, handling 265,000 containers in the fourth quarter of last year, according to container shipping expert Lars Jensen.

The Port of New York and New Jersey handled around 2 million containers in that same period, and Norfolk Port in Virginia handled 850,000, so the flow of containers to Baltimore can likely be redistributed to bigger ports, Jensen said.

It is the busiest U.S. port for car shipments, handling more than 750,000 vehicles in 2023, according to data from the Maryland Port Administration.

The port handles imports and exports for major automakers including Nissan (7201.T), opens new tab, Toyota (7203.T), opens new tab, General Motors (GM.N), opens new tab, Volvo Car (VOLCARb.ST), opens new tab, Jaguar Land Rover (TAMOJL.UL) and Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), opens new tab, including luxury models for Audi, Lamborghini and Bentley.

It is also the largest U.S. port by volume for handling farm and construction machinery, as well as agricultural products.

Imports of agricultural products totaled 3 million tonnes last year, including 1.2 million of sugar and salt, as well as gypsum, fertilisers and forest products, according to Ishan Bhanu, lead agricultural commodities analyst at Kpler.

Other top imports were paper/paperboard and plywood/veneer/particle board, the Maryland authority website shows.

During the first nine months of 2023, Baltimore was the second-biggest port for U.S. coal exports, behind Norfolk, Virginia, according to the latest data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

There'll be some powerful people very pleased with that disruption.
 
to be fair, the ship called harbor control before crashing into the bridge.

Control locked down the bridge before other cars could pass which helped saved lives.

Crew might have made a mistake with the anchor but making the Emergancy call allowed them to reduce the amount of potential deaths drastically.

Small W for the crew and captain imo.
 
So whats everyones fav conspiracy theory ?

I am sure Jackson Hinkle is pushing it was the mossad and Israel because Biden didnt veto the UNSC resolution.

Is Alex Jones saying the ship didnt actually crash and the whole thing is special effects and crisis actors?

Of course we cant have a conspiracy without blaming the Russians. This was Russia revenge for the terrorist attack.

And good old standard false flag CIA did it. You gotta include the CIA. Remember bridge beams dont bend on impact and there were sparks meaning it was a controlled demolition.

But really it was probably aliens that are part of project blue beam that are really time travelling angels from the future that decided to stop at a mall on miami before crashing into the bridge as a way to change the future and stop AI from starting judgement day.

Well, as I'm sure you know, any time someone pisses China off, a civilian vessel will usually find its way into an accidental collision. I've heard more than once that China was involved with attacking the World Trade Center because one of their embassies was struck in a missile attack. I've heard it more than once they were one of the primary funders of the attack.
